Usage Guidelines

Before issuing the install module loader command, be sure to read the release notes to verify

compatibility issues between the boot loader and the kickstart or system images.

If you install a loader version that is the same as the currently-installed version, the loader will not be

upgraded. When both the current version and the installed version are the same, use the init system

command to force a loader upgrade.

The following example shows how to perform a non disruptive upgrade for the system.

switch# install module 6 loader bootflash:kickstart_image

This example displays the command being issued on the standby supervisor module in slot 6.
